Just like printing, cursive writing is typically not presented
in alphabetical order. I've chosen to present the letters in groups that
are formed in a similar manner (you'll find this is what most schools do).
The worksheets build on one another so you'll want to begin with the letter a
and add letters in the order listed. It is important to build when it
comes to handwriting as the key difference between cursive writing and printing
is that the letters flow together (connect).

Present lower case letters first -- you can quickly begin
forming words so that cursive handwriting can be incorporated with other lessons
such as spelling and social studies.

Note: Of course, the first thing every child I've ever
met has wanted to learn to write is their name -- and I always approach learning
as something fun, so by all means encourage them to do this. The
worksheets on this page won't help you, but pop over to our customizable
cursive tracer pages to type in your child's name (or anything else that
tickles their fancy).
